The Bureau of Meteorology is Australia's national weather, climate and water agency.
Its expertise and services assist Australians in dealing with the harsh realities
of their natural environment, including drought, floods, fires, storms, tsunami and
tropical cyclones. Through regular forecasts, warnings, monitoring and advice spanning
the Australian region and Antarctic territory, the Bureau provides one of the most
fundamental and widely used services of government. The Bureau contributes to national
social, economic, cultural and environmental goals by providing observational, meteorological,
hydrological and oceanographic services and by undertaking research into science and
environment related issues in support of its operations and services.
